Do you have access to the Windows installer media?

Yes I have

There should be no reason to be forced to install Windows 11. Can you confirm the current version and build, type winver in Search and select the top result. Post back the details.

Information. And I copied the install.wim of Windows 11 to Windows 10 and replaced 10's install.wim

In doing that to install Windows 11 I don't know what has happened with the build. If you are running (essentially) a hacked copy of Windows 11 then it is not supported and may be actively restricted for windows updates.

If you have an Insider build then you should ask in the Insider forum with ref to this thread. (the screenshot appears to show the Dev channel)

The public build release is 22000.nnn

You are using the Dev which is under testing and development.

I advise you to open start and search for feedback and open the Feedback Hub app and report this issue.
